## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

Bills (proposed laws) are specialized, structured documents with great public significance.
Often, the language of a bill may not directly explain the potential impact of the legislation.
This dataset collects the text of bills and some metadata.
As a result, this dataset collects bill text; it also provides text as a list of sections with the text and header.
